07 -
1 box (5 ounces) mixed greens
08 -
2 ears fresh corn
09 -
1 large ripe avocado, cut into chunks
10 -
½ cup fresh blueberries
11 -
2 ripe summer peaches, cut into cubes
12 -
Any herb vinaigrette you love
# Instructions:
01 -
Combine the avocado oil with the spices - chipotle powder, garlic powder, salt, and cumin in a container to make a tasty paste. Rub this all over your chicken and let it sit for at least 20 minutes. You can leave it up to an hour if you want stronger flavors. This helps the meat soak up all the yummy spices.
02 -
Heat your grill to 425°F. When it's hot enough, toss on your seasoned chicken and cook about 10-12 minutes. Don't forget to flip it halfway. You'll know it's done when it hits 160°F inside. Put it on a plate to rest before you cut it into strips. Letting it sit keeps all the juices from running out.
03 -
While your chicken's resting, let's tackle the corn. If you've got an outdoor grill going, put the corn right on it and turn now and then until you see nice dark spots all around. Or for a quick way, just hold each ear with tongs over your stove's flame, turning until you see some kernels getting dark spots. After they cool a bit, carefully cut the kernels off.
04 -
Grab a big salad bowl and dump in your mixed greens. Top them with your chicken strips, the corn you just cut off, avocado chunks, blueberries, and peach pieces. Pour some of your vinaigrette over everything and mix it all up gently. Give it a quick taste and add more dressing if you want. Eat it right away while the chicken's still warm for the best mix of hot and cold flavors.
# Notes:
01 -
This colorful summer bowl mixes sweet, smoky and savory tastes that really bring out the best of what's in season.
02 -
You get a full meal with protein from the chicken, good fats in the avocado, and the freshness of summer fruits all in one dish.

It's best eaten right after making, but you can get everything ready ahead of time and throw it together when you're ready to eat.
